UA Little Rock to Celebrate Staff Excellence at Annual Staff Senate Awards Ceremony

UA Little Rock will recognize staff members for service, achievement, and academic success during the annual Staff Senate Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, April 28, from 2–4 p.m.

Hosted by the Staff Senate, the ceremony honors retirees, employees celebrating milestone years of service, recent graduates, Staff Achievement Award recipients, and Staff Senate scholarship and book scholarship recipients.

“Recognizing staff achievements is essential to who we are as a university,” said Staff Senate President Don O’Donnell. “When we lift up the work of our colleagues, we honor the dedication that keeps our campus thriving and remind our community that every contribution—seen or unseen—helps move our mission forward.”

Three Staff Achievement Awards will be presented to employees whose work reflects exceptional dedication, leadership, and service to the university.

“Students and administrators can see the difference our faculty make on a daily basis,” said Chrissy Jones, Staff Senate Committee Chair and president-elect. “It’s also important to highlight the achievements of our staff, to let them know that their contributions behind the scenes are just as important as those efforts made on the front lines. Without the Staff Senate Achievement Awards, it would be easy to miss or disregard the work that goes into keeping the university running efficiently.”

The Staff Senate Awards Ceremony provides an opportunity to formally acknowledge the contributions of staff members who support and advance UA Little Rock’s mission. Additional details about the Staff Achievement Awards, including criteria and past recipients, are available on the Staff Senate website.
